Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Lotus Petals Powder, botanically identified as Nelumbo Nucifera, is commonly known as Lotus Flowers, Kamal, Kamal Patti, Padma, Nelofar, and Sacred Lotus. In traditional Ayurvedic and cultural usage, the petals of the lotus flower (Pushpa Dal) are the primary part used. These petals are carefully harvested, shade-dried, and finely powdered to retain their natural cooling, aromatic, and therapeutic qualities.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

According to Ayurveda, Lotus petals possess Madhura–Kashaya rasa, Sheeta virya, and Laghu–Snigdha guna, making them especially effective for balancing Pitta dosha. They are traditionally valued for cooling the body, supporting skin health, promoting calmness of mind, assisting in heat-related conditions, and maintaining emotional balance.

Lotus Petals Powder is commonly used in Churna, herbal teas, cosmetic face packs, and calming formulations. Classical practices mention its use mixed with rose water, honey, milk, or sandalwood powder, depending on the application. It is also highly regarded in spiritual, cosmetic, and wellness rituals for its purity and soothing nature.
